Tarek El Moussa tried to find love again – with the nanny

What is it with celebrities and nannies? At least Tarek El Moussa reportedly waited until four months after he and his wife, Christina, separated before going for the couple’s former child care employee.

Apparently, it was all just a misunderstanding, though, because Tarek later claimed he had only taken the handgun with him in the woods “for safety because of mountain lions and rattlesnakes in the area.”

Meanwhile, Christina has also moved on and is dating. According to Us Weekly, she is now in a relationship with contractor Gary Anderson. Anderson was also reportedly there during the gun incident, which could explain why he and Christina were so quick to bond.

All in all, it’s still pretty amazing that the El Moussas are keeping a united front. Following news of their split, the two released a joint statement and maintained that they are committed to raising and protecting their children through all of the hardships that come with separation.
